Site updates are a major pain, especially stuff like Joomla. Thanks for the effort

Up to this point, She Hulk has been a “TV Lawyer”. Which is to say all of her cases wind up in trials. The courtrooms are full of onlookers. The juries pay the utmost attention. Everyone has respect for the proceedings, and dress in their Sunday best. Everything gets resolved by a verdict.

I once read that no one hates to go to trial more than a lawyer. Their whole job is to do everything in their power to avoid the courtroom. Given what I’ve seen first hand in limited exposures to the legal system, this seems pretty accurate.

Despite my mild criticism I must praise Soule as the first writer to “get” this aspect of the world. His She Hulk brags about “billable hours” rather than famous cases. An early attempt to sue Stark Industries is immediately thwarted by Stark’s legal team. This is how a real-life large corporation would handle a suit brought against them: delay, delay, delay. Drain the financial resources of the plaintiff through stalling tactics.

I’m really glad to see this world given life in the Marvel Universe. It also possibly opens an potential dynamic for the character going forward. Being a Hulk means that Jennifer Walters fears no physical threat, but succeeding at the law requires a completely separate set of skills with no real overlap. I think Soule will have a lot of fun sketching out the dichotomy if given the chance.

TRANSLATION: POOR SALES AND CANCELLATION OF TITLE!

If the past couple She Hulk series are any indication, Soule will build up some critical respect and get promoted to bigger and better things. His team will get replaced by one promising “superhero action” and “superhero art”, and will succeed at driving away the audience drawn to the quirkier stories. Then the cancellation will hit and few will be left paying any attention.

I really like the book so far. My only complaint is that as a lawyer by trade, Soule put too much of his profession into the first couple issues. The dialog was very dense with a lot of legal-ese. Its not hard to follow, just the anthesis of a superhero comic book. As the series has progressed, Soule has struck a better balance.

Don’t be surprised about the criticism about the art. People on these boards always complain about the artwork in She Hulk solo books. It certainly not geared toward the audience of this site, which was probably a conscious decision on the creators part. The heavily stylized artwork fits the tone and scope of the stories pretty well.

That Marvel’s Agents of Shield is probably where She Hulk would make her first appearance making it a spin off of that show.

I wouldn’t turn it down, but that’s highly unlikely. Agents of Shield will probably just create their own characters or scrape the bottom of the barrel for lowest of the low tier Marvel characters.

Look at the first episode, the only thing that factored into the plot taken from the larger Marvel Universe was a concoction that contained super soldier serum mixed with other familiar buzzwords. Expect more of that.

Prove me wrong, Joss Whedon. Prove me wrong.

The best shot to get She Hulk into a series would’ve been Del Toro’s Hulk television show. Last I read Disney decided to put that on hold to lavish more attention on Agents of Shield.

> 1.) These characters look to be too much like rip offs. There’s not an ounce of originality in these characters.

He wouldn’t be the first person on this board to carry on the trope. Hopefully he won’t be the last. At the very least, the art looks legit.

Hey all,

I recently updated my website (http://www.plastikevol.com) and today uploaded a fresh and free new sequence: http://www.plastikevol.com/content/jessica

I’ve been fooled by trailers before, but this looks to have exceeded my (low) expectations for a Chyna-as-She-Hulk parody film. I’m officially “cautiously optimistic”…

[zimbra1]

I approve.
